So you’re deciding between Wordpress VS Joomla and are not sure which CMS is right for you? Are you new to the world of Blogs and Content Management systems? Does it all sound a bit daunting and confusing? Then checkout this review by Rudolf Boogerman to help you decide which CMS suits your needs best. Rudolf has done a fantastic job of explaining in very simple and easy to use language (for the non technical users) what the strengths and merits of each system are. There is also a counter argument, or disadvantage of both Joomla and Wordpress, so its a pretty balanced review. If there’s only one article you are going to read before you pick your cms, then this is it!

Personally, since both systems are easy to get up and running very quickly, i would recommend trying both out for yourself to see which one you are most comfortable using. Look out for a comment from Joomla’s core team member Wilco Jansen!

Forums:

Demos:

  • Joomla has a demo of latest v1.5 available on their demo website.
